{{IS_A=Special Ability}} ((Type=Ability}} {{Name=Torture-Smithing}} {{Description=While DuPree isn't exactly a normal Spark, she does have a unique skill at invention: she can take other devices, and convert them into weapons and devices of torture. She does this in much the same way as a conventional Spark does, but with several differences: * She cannot create devices from scratch; she starts with some other device. * She always works alone. * The resulting device must be a plausible derivative of the original one. * The results always have a primary purpose of hurting people. }} {{Text=You aren't a conventional Spark, but you do have a unique skill with technology: you can convert many things into a device of torture or covert harm. You must begin with an existing device: you cannot create something from scratch. You always work alone, without assistants, and you must focus on the task while doing it. The resulting device must be a plausible derivative of the original one, with a primary purpose of hurting people. (For instance, your electric "joy buzzer" was originally a hand-held medical diagnostic unit that read someone's condition on touch.) This process usually takes five minutes, and costs one or two Points, depending on the scale of the device involved. Consult a GM about what you are trying to do, to see if it is reasonable and to get the cost.}}
